Description
Please provide configure option to allow
- installation prefix (ex: /usr)
- include directory (ex: /usr/include/njs)
- library directory (ex: /usrs/lib64)
- shared library (on/off)
- static library (on/off)
So this can be used as all libraries
allowing unit to use it, without having to rebuild it on each version
and also reducing unit executable size (grow from ~480KB to ~1300KB with the static library)

Research direction
Start by tracing the project's configure and installation entry points to see how the current build produces and installs the njs library. Define how prefix, include and library directories, and shared/static library toggles should be represented; done means these options work without rebuilding each consumer and preserve the reported executable-size benefit.
